BFV → DMK
Which side of the plane to sit from Buri Ram Airport (Buri Ram) to Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the transition from the Khorat Plateau into the Central Plains, featuring the iconic Lam Takhong Reservoir and the massive limestone quarries of Saraburi.
Buriram Countryside
Clear views of the flat terrain surrounding BFV airport, showing local farming life and small reservoirs.
Dong Phayayen Range
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain peaks that separate the northeast plateau from the central valley.
Lam Takhong Reservoir
A stunning turquoise water body nestled between hills, often accompanied by views of the giant wind turbines nearby.
Saraburi Limestone Quarries
Enormous white open-pit mines that look like giant craters, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding green hills.
Greater Bangkok Skyline
A sweeping view of the urban sprawl and high-rises of Bangkok as the aircraft turns for its final approach sequence.
The right side is best for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, illuminating the mountains and reservoirs perfectly. Look for the massive wind turbines on the hills near Lam Takhong; they are a major landmark on this route. Sit away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Saraburi industrial geography.
Isan Agricultural Grids
Vast expanses of rice paddies and rural villages characteristic of the Lower Isan region.
Khao Yai Southern Edge
Views of the dense forest canopy of Thailand's oldest national park as the flight crosses the mountain range.
Pasak Jolasid Dam
Depending on the specific flight path, the southern tip of this massive reservoir may be visible.
Pathum Thani Suburbs
The transition from rural farmland to the dense residential developments of the northern Bangkok metro area.
Kantarat Golf Club
On final approach to DMK, the unique golf course situated right between the two runways is clearly visible.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the intricate network of irrigation canals (klongs) that define the central Thai plains during the descent. During the rainy season (June-October), the landscape is a vibrant, lush green.
